(Closed) I HATE living here

If you’ve seen my past posts then you know I live with my sister in law and brother in law. Now a roommate is moving in. Money wise, it will be great..space wise, absolutely not. Well now we had a “meeting” about our 6 month old puppy being “aggressive” and “mean” towards their dog. First off, their dogs are 7 years old so they are older dogs. Our dog isn’t aggressive or mean, he’s just rough with them because he’s a puppy and he has them to play with but they don’t play the way they probably used to. I try to keep them separated as much as possible so they don’t rough house as much. I’m trying to understand their side but it seems a little overdramatized the way they are treating this situation. He’s still learning and when we get him neutered then it will help with some of his behaviors (humping mostly haha). He’s a really good dog and I see his learning progressing every month. Here’s the situation tho..now I’m keeping him in our room with me as much as possible which isn’t fair because we pay half of the rent so it’s our home too. But it sure doesn’t feel like it. I just feel hopeless because we don’t have money to rent a place, none of the places here allow pets and if they do it’s 900$ per month without utilities. Crazy. There might be more hope if I had a job too so it’s not like we can save because we’re scraping by. I’m just waiting on phone calls now:( I’m seriously stressed out and frustrated with our living situation. It’s becoming more and more uncomfortable everyday. Now that they brought up stuff about our dog it’s become extras uncomfortable. But I love my dog more than anything. I feel 100% hopeless.

Keeping the dogs isolated is hurting things, not helping them. The dogs need to all learn their places in the new pack, and what their ground rules are, and they won’t learn that if they don’t socialize. Perhaps you could offer to pay for a few obedience classes for all the dogs, on the condition that either your SIL or BIL go with you. Everyone’s dog goes. They do them at places like PetSmart and they’re pretty cheap. might even be cheaper at your local ASPCA. All the humans will learn better control over their dogs plus how to tell the difference between play and aggression, and the dogs will be able to figure each other out on a neutral territory which is always easier.
